Gov. TAYLOR, of Tennessee, in re-
cent interview said: notice that there
is in prison large number of children
under Is years of age. 1t is shame
that Tennessee should not have some
place of refuge for these poor little
creatures and not place them among
hardened criminals. Judges and jury
should not send children to prison. and
shall deem it my duty to uphold the
honor of Tennessee by pardoning them.
I am confident l will benefit more by
this step than by allowing them to re-
main in school for crime. l have re-
quested the wardens to prepare for me
list of the names and offenses of every
personin prison under II. They nor any
other child shall stay there while I am
governor Of Tennessee.

FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL. 20. 1887

Sir Edward Thornton the agent of the
British bondholders arrived in Richmond
Yesterday, and found the legislature ready
in session.
This week the Virginia legislative COM
mission and the agent of the British
bondholders are discussing the settlement
of the debt. There are holders of nearly
$11, 900 900 of the State debt not represent
ed by either commission or an agent
The bondholders who are represented hold
about $4,000 600.
If the whole debt of the State was fund
ed under the Riddleberger bill her annual
interest account would be $654,000.
The income of the State now is So, 521 :
S75. The total expenditure Of the State
for regular expenses of the government,
not including interest on the State debt,
is 81, 914, 1856, which subtracted from the
receipts leaves 1897 ,7s9 with which to pay
the 1854, 600, interest on the State debt If
funded under the Riddleberger bill.
In other words Virginia is short by
$57, 600 of making both ends meet if the
debt had all been successfully funded
under the Riddleberger bill.
These figures can occupy the leisure
moments OF the leader snatched from the
perusal of the deliberations of the two
commissions, when they commence, and
he can utilize the time by figuring out
how Virginia can pay more without in
creaslng taxation.

There is not SO much to puzzle one in
South and elsewhere when one comes to
look at it. The National government be-
tween lessening it's interest and calling
in its bonds has narrowed that field Of
investment to the merest Ararat in the
wide expanse of currency; the railroads of
the nation have become more Of gambling
mediums that subjects of permanent in
vestment; the labor strikes have made
manufacturing at the North so uncertain
that capital cannot calculate on certain
income. and the Interstate Commerce
bill threatens to deprive the West of its
cheap rates to the seaboard and by redu-
cling it to fair competition with the
Eastern States, make its land bonds less
valuable for Investment. With this
schedule, capital is forced to hunt up new
fields. 1t has turned to the South for many
reasons-the chief one being that it is a
daily developing country which means a
daily increase of the value of the invest
ment, and further that no matter what
happens real estate is always there. It is
not possible that the present boom can be-
come a permanent thing, but it seems
evenly divided between the heat of vitali-
ity and the heat Of fever, and when the
latter has subsidized the former will still be
here.

The very birth place and home of protec-
ton is declaring against it. A republican
committee of the republican legislature of
Connecticut has reported fayorably resolu-
ton, to the effect that the tariff on coal, iron
wool, "copper" ssallssSend lumber, is an in
jury to the interests of that~'State. And yet
there are people in the manufacturing cities
and towns of Virginia, and, strangest OF all,
people calling themselves democrats, who are
ayowed supporters of the protective tariff
AlecandrSa Gazette.
We give the above as fair sample of
the arguments of Morrison reformer.
OF course Connecticut wants low tariff or,
better still for her, none at all, on coal,
iron, wool, salt, lumber, and copper. She
doesn t produce single one OF the six, and
wants them all to come in free, if she can
get them at that rate, for her manufac-
lures. Her Republican legislators know
this and 60 in for free trade, if they can
get it, in them. But Virginia produces all
SIC in great quantities, and yet here and
there is found a Virginia Democr at to
urge that the foreign products be admit
ted to competition, and actually innocent
enough to quote the Republican example
in Connecticut to sustain his Gaze. You'll
never find Republican committee Of a
Republican legislature, or Democratic
committee of a Democratic legislature
IN Connecticut favorably reporting reso-
luton to let Havana tobacco in free to COM
pete with Connecticut wrappers. Il is only
in Virginia such verdancy is found, and we
are glad to say tbs scarce here-as scarce as
Morrison reformers in the Valley Of Vir-
ginia.

Gov. Lee seems determined to stand by
the colored military companies of Rich
mond in their participation in the great
national encampment and drill at Wash
ington. He says be cannot see what
objection can be made to their participa-
ton. They participated in the procession
at Cleveland's Inauguration, and on that
occasion when he found several colored
companies from other States wandering
about, looking for position III the line, be
assigned them a place in bis own command.
at the Newport News riot they did their
duty as soldiers should have done, when
the rioters were persons of their own color,
and should now receive all the treatment
of soldiers. The colored military Of Rich
mond participated in the professions at the
burial of Gen. Geo, E. Pickett and of
Gen. Henry A. Wise. and Inspector Gen
eral Stern says they have always conduct
ed themselves in manner becoming
soldiers.

A VINDICATOR subscriber at Waco,
Texas, sends us copy of the Advance, y
OF that town. 1t is Democratic Prohi.
bition paper, and from the contents of the
copy received we take it that the Prohibi-
ton campaign in Texas is to be run at a
white heat. At the head of it's editorial
column it keeps standing letter from the
Democratic U. S. Senator Coke, in which
he means to abide by the action of the
coming Democratic State convention on
the subject. He is opposed to Prohibition,
but says: ''In this attitude of the ques
ton my purpose is to make no canvass, but
as citizen and votc to exercise my priv
ileges in accordance I'll my convictions. %
Elsewhere in the. 81 p.ps We published the
iis ssler in favor of Prohibition by the new
Democratic U. S. senatoN Reagan, to
which we have already mad9 reference,
and another from ex-U. S. SenatM Maxey
announcing his intention TO voH 1or
Prohibition. The delegates in the HSuse
of Representatives from Texas, all 0f
whom are Democrats, are DIVIDED; Messrs.
Culberson, Hare and Lanham being for
Prohibition, Mills. against it, and the
other seven not heard from. The Vets
have taken the name of 1.-THE True Blues
Though the vote does not take place until
the first Thursday in August, meetings on
both sides are going on everywhere. A
